In true Seussian fashion, this project demands that students look at the world around them differently than they have before, seeking out marvels that previously went unnoticed, and then engaging others in their newly found appreciation through words and images. The idea is to have kids look on their way to school, (as Marco did in the book) and find marvels in their world. They can then take a digital picture of what they see, or draw or paint it and then upload it for others to see. Teachers will create one page for all of their student work, titling each picture "And To Think That I Saw It On My Way To School"! The big ideas are the verb to see and the cadence or rhythm of the words. Then classes can react to each other's work through the discussion tab or through skype, ichat, etc.
